BEAT PITT
Scarcely a week remains before the world will be
assured that this particular football season has been'
the most gloriously successful, etc , than any previous
football season And curiously enough observation
is true Rivalry has flourished, a strong and delight
lot rivalry of the kind usually known as healthy
And curiously enough this is true. Picking the plums
of the season. Penn State has found them succulent)
and much to its liking And curiously enough this
is true It is not every season that sees Syracuse,
Pennsylvania and Lafayette walloped. Yes, walloped
is the word; none other fits Lafayette. Pennsylvania
and Syracuse hose been as completely and beautifully
walloped as any teams have had the misfortune to be
And curiously enough
But following the best traditions vie shall deal
with the present crisis Ihe editors have been deal
ing with present crises for SIN or seven years and
nothing has come of it Yet we feel in every slug of
type that our luck is bound to change Other peo
ple, not all of them Penn State men, feel the sante
way about it. apparently. As Mr. Meehan said after
the N. Y. U deadlock, Penn State has a helluva good
team. Mr. Meehan said this thoughtfully; it was by
no means a casual, off hand compliment Mr. Roepke
had just streaked down the field some forty or fifty
yards and Mr Meehan was stroking his brow with
the customary feverish stroke that Penn State's op
ponents Irate been in the habit of employing, more
or les..
Yes, the Penn State eleven is confident that it is
going to beat Pitt. And it is significant to notice
that despite the fact that Penn State has not beaten
1
Pittsburgh since Bob Higgins wore moleskins Pitts
burgh is not the favorite to win The reason for this
lies more in the morale of the Lions than in the
strength of its line-up; Bezdek's 1927 edition has
been a fighting one from the start. And in their own
quiet way the Penn State students feel that the ,
strength in the Blue and White line-up may ,have
something to say about it, too, even though their
newspaper does not print garish prophesies and pick
out the mayor of the community to play the football
expert. ' f''''
But win or lose this 1627 season will,go down
in Penn Sfa'te's record as the , 'best. , iivfoirr!years"
Should Penn State win, it will be able to boast with
Yale and N Y U. that "it belongs" among the top
notchers of the East. The incentive is hardly neces
sary, however; the game with the Panthers is an end
in itself For the Blue and Gold it will mean an un-
Lefea•c.l season, for Penn Stoe a championship one.
And although we do not go into four inch headlines
about it, we feel that the Nittany Lions will win that
it will return not only with the bacon, but with the
Pan ther.
ALONG THE COWPATH
The old oaken bucket is a brand new pail to
some people. These quaint folk are the ones who
have yet to learn that the World War has been de
clared ended and that practically all the known world
has been explored and that, therefore, there is no
need to set about making new paths to discovered
places. In fact, that they should keep off the grass.
Ever since Penn State acquired a grass-covered
campus students have trod the sod with airy spirit
and heavy foot At first College authorities tried the
time-worn "Please Keep Off the Grass" which failed
as they might have known. Nest came a more curt
request, "Keep off the Grass," which was no request
whatever This failing to preserve the beauty of
the Campus, chains were stretched across the muddy
scars with a mild little "Please" resting below them
in an attempt to keep the hurrying feet of the mul
titude from their accustomed paths. It was futile.
And now we have signs pleading, "Walk on the
Grass"
If students determined on saving that extra one
or thirty seconds would stay out of the fast-deepen
ing ruts, they might find walking just as easy on the
feet; and the appearance of Penn State's campus
would be improved immeasurably. It is an attempt
to scatter the ill done by the thoughtless many.
There is, as someone has pointed out, the sug
gestion that instead of "Keep off the Grass" signs
being posted, that ones bearing "Cow Paths leading
to a Cow College" be erected,
A new fraternity is in process of organization at
Penti State. Its members will be drawn front stu
dents who travel from Old Man classes to ones in
the Liberal Arts building, vies versa; and for that
matter, those who travel anywhere on the Campus
Debating upon a title for then fraternity, the pros
pectise members have come to the conclusion that
"Jump Brothers" will be nothing if not apt for their
I callective title
... President
Vice-President
Treasurer
It seems that there are roads that run through
the Campus and upon these local highways a plenti
tude of traffic may be found at almost any time of
the day, for the most part, strange as it may seem,
lust when classes are changing. And as these cars,
trucks and delivery wagons make their hurried way,
lives are at a premium and the agility of the modern
student is the only thing that keeps him in school—
low grades nothwithstandmg.
And so we will have with us some day in the near
future a new fritter:lit), motivated by mutual admir
ation of its component parts and the desire foralong
er life, and its password and motto will be—" Jump
Brothers, Jump?'

Hundreds of loyal Penn State rooters will wit
ness a spectacular gridiron battle on Thursday when
the Lion encounters the Panther at the• Pitt Stadium
Less fortunate hundreds will tune their radix sets to
the proper wave length and receive almost instantan
eously an account of the classic A spirit of light
heartedness and pleasure will dominate the day
The deep significance of Thanksgiving Day
should not, however, be lost sight of among the var
ious modern methods of celebration Too often the
mode of observance of n holiday completely displaces
its original purpose Halloween is an outstanding
example of the tendency. To some, Christmas means
innumerable shopping days, Easter, the purchase of
a new bonnet: and the Fourth of Juts' an excuse foi
deafening explosion of fireworks In Italy, rmelry
and light pleasures have so come to prevail on holi
days following, that Premier Musaohm has advised
the relegation of such festivity to Sundays It is
only because the:: primary intent has been replaced,
that what amounts to an abolition of holidays is even
considered.
America has Thanksgiving as a heritage from
men consequential in her founding and upbudding
Thanksgiving, in its original capacity and according
to the annual proclamation of the president of the
United States, is a day set aside ior the giving of
thanks to God for blessings received throughout the
year
Let not the student of Penn State disregard the
numerous gifts with which they are endowed and the
manifold opportunities which the, recei‘e May
they, in the course of justifiable festivity and mirth,
catch sight of the deeper and enduring spirit of
Thanksgiving Day.
